An Open Letter To Those Affected By The Fires In Los Angeles

Hello,

Hope you and your loved ones are doing well.

Today, I wanted to take a moment to address the ongoing fires in Los Angeles.

While we can only pray for the fires to be contained, I wanted to personally reach out to let you know that our team is here to support you during this time.

As a resident of Los Angeles, the Palisades and the city as a whole are very dear to my heart.

Frankly, it is difficult to express in words the level of devastation that is occurring.

As of this moment, the fires have swept through 39,000 acres, and over 153,000 residents have been given evacuation orders.

I have been hosting friends the past few days who needed to evacuate.

I also have friends who have lost their childhood homes.

There is ash in the air and grief on the faces of those around us.

In times like this, we need to come together as a community to support each other.

While there is no silver lining to such an event, we are getting to witness the beauty of humanity - people opening up their homes to strangers, volunteering at donation centers or as firefighters, and so on.

I want to specifically recognize our First Responders, our Firefighters, and our Media outlets. The only reason LA has a fighting chance is because of people like this.

Below I am listing resources for live updates as well as donations if you would like to contribute:

1. For live updates, I highly recommend downloading the mobile application, Watch Duty.

2. For news, you can track the map of the wildfires on the New York Times and get news updates on CBS.

3. For information on housing, evacuation centers, childcare, food & water, please click HERE.

4. For donations, please consider the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, or any organization found HERE.

If you need anything at all, please feel free to reply to this email or to Contact Us, and we will do our best to help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Angelenos are resilient, and the city will come back. We will be here to provide aid and help rebuild this city to the best of our capability.

Sending you and your close ones lots of love.

Warm Wishes,
